The successful candidate will join the Science team at a time when our key aim is to ensure that students’ experience of Science is as real-life and as practical as possible.

We teach a condensed KS3 curriculum in Years 7 and 8 following the scheme of work that has been developed by the school. In September 2014 we introduced the new Science Activate scheme, where students are taught in six hour-long lessons per fortnight. All students follow the Triple Science route in Year 9, taught by a specialist teacher, and from Year 10 students will either follow the Triple Science or Trilogy Science route. In Years 10 and 11, students have a Science teacher for each discipline, and a total of twelve hour-long lessons per fortnight. All A Level teaching is by specialist scientists.

As an ‘Investors in People’ school we are committed to staff development and offer the opportunity for excellent professional development in order to prepare for future career progression.

In addition to the exciting new facilities in Sevenoaks we have also invested in our Tonbridge site which now has a state of the art Sports Hall and university style Sixth Form Study Centre. Both sites are situated in beautiful rural settings with far reaching views across the Garden of England with excellent transport links.
